I'm bad, I'm bad... I know it!
Well here we go. Another 6 months down the drain! Woohoo! So... let's see.
Job - 1
x-mas in YK - 1
St. Patty's day with green beer - 0 (ouch! very sad day)
Roomates moving to different country - 1
Dates - 2
Housesitting jobs since August - 8
Batches of truffles made - 2
Cats almost killed (in my dreams) - 1
Weight lost since x-mas - 12lbs
It's getting to the point where I can't help but think about all the people that I know that are in serious relationships, getting married or having kids! It's obviously not time for me to have any of those things, but I can't help but think about how lucky those individuals are. Now that I'm settled in all aspects of my life (well except living arrangements... moving... AGAIN... this summer... god I hate moving) I keep thinking about the things that I don't have. But then I just think about all the things that I do have. I have a great network of friends. A wonderful mom that doesn't just tell me what I want to hear (my friends are the same way mind you). And I'm BUSY. I used to have the extra jobs just to keep me going, but now I have the choir, and lunches with friends, and dinners at my house (not to mention the never ending housesitting jobs because I keep getting recommended to others).
I asked one of my friends (that I housesit for on a regular basis) why she keeps recommending me. I couldn't believe the stories that she was telling me about the past housesitters that she had. Gum stuck to the roof, tubs full of dirty bath water, beer bottles in the plant pots... calls from the neighbours about really raucus parties while she was gone... I mean these people were HORRIBLE! I always thought that leaving things the way you found them to be a standard thing to do.
I have to admit though that I'm really looking forward to this tea party happening in June. My friend
Shelley is hosting a 'Pride & Prejudice' fancy dress tea party. She's even going as far as making up our costumes (for those of us that don't really know how to sew clothes). I can't help but burst out laughing thinking about my friend Renee all dressed up in her costume... she's not the type of person to put on a character, so I'm sure there will be a point where she'll just tell us all to 'f*** off'.
I'm also looking forward to getting out of YK this summer and seeing my family AND wedding dress shopping! I'm sure that Katy and I will be spending most of our time calming Shell down so that she's doesn't stress out too much, but it should be a blast after we found her dress.
Enough for now, off to bed to get better.
